Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Rihan Nura knew that this was somewhat one-sided, but yokai were inherently simple and they preferred to believe in the power contained in their bloodline: "Perhaps, it's not necessarily because I inherited the snail's wish."

The snails stand independently in harmony between humans and demons, and like the Nura Clan, they maintain the balance between the two worlds.

If this can be confirmed, then whether Gu Yun is powerful or not becomes irrelevant.

Conversely, it might be a good thing if Gu Yun is more capable.

"Ahei, prepare a gift."

Gu Yun's implication was clear to Nura Rihan: "It's almost dawn. You'll come with me to visit the Iijima family in a bit."

"Yes, Second Generation!"

Watching the Kyoto demons and the Nura Clan depart one after another, Gu Yun knew that the seed had been sown, and he leisurely boarded the shrine of Miketsu.

The deity has been upgraded, and his chariot has become several times more luxurious.

Wandering under the dim sky, Gu Yun gazed at this brightly lit corner of Tokyo and sighed, "A world where monsters, gods, and humans coexist."

For the past four years, Gu Yun has been thinking about what kind of goal she should set to pass the time.

Not long ago, the journey to the underworld four years ago, the arrival of Gozenjin now, and the beautiful scenery of Konohana-tei and Jousei inspired Tanigumo.

"Gensokyo!"

Gu Yun has done some research and found that there is no such thing as a several-thousand-year-old old woman named Yakumo Yukari who likes to press other people's faces into her keyboard.

Gensokyo, a land beloved by the gods, did indeed provide some inspiration for Gu Yun.

"Since there is no Gensokyo in this world where all living beings can coexist."

Gu Yun crossed his arms and looked down at the city under the night sky: "Then I'll create one."

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and the Night Parade of One Thousand Demons are just the beginning.

Although most of the former are clean, there are still places where dirt and grime can accumulate.

The latter is quite filthy, so some of the garbage needs to be removed first, but what remains still has some redeeming qualities.

Not only them, but also the many more gods, monsters, ghosts, and even purely kind humans that Gu Yun will encounter in the future.

If they tire of worldly strife, they can come to his world and become its inhabitants.

Chapter 95 I still like your unruly look

"The Demon Blade..."

Inside the carriage, Gu Yun sat cross-legged, with the broken Mimi Kirimaru in front of him.

This is a cursed sword, but in Japan, the "demon" in cursed swords actually means one that possesses special abilities.

Sode no Shirayuki is also a blade with abilities, but it is a divine weapon, so it cannot be considered a demon sword.

"The knife is a tool created for killing, tearing flesh and objects."

In theory, firearms and knives should be inanimate objects, devoid of guilt.

Good and evil are determined by the people who use them.

However, in this world, everything has a spirit.

This also means that once weapons possess sentience, they will most likely become destructive and mischievous children.

Therefore, most demon swords are very dangerous.

Throughout history, there have been numerous stories of demonic swords bewitching people, infecting their hosts, and turning them into terrifying killers who then go around testing their blades.

"Start with slaughter and refine with human blood."

Gu Yun placed the broken blade of Mimi Kirimaru on his knees, carefully sensing the spirituality contained within the sword.

"But there are also swords that exist solely for protection."

Mimi Kirimaru is a sword used to protect humans, so it will not harm humans, but will only slay demons.

To demons, Mimi Kirimaru is dangerous.

But for humankind, this is a blade of compassion.

"I remember the Yoto Hime in the game, who went mad after mistakenly killing the person she was supposed to protect."

To avoid going mad again, Akakage Yoto Hime transformed into Yoto Hime and began her journey of self-exile.

Forging a demonic sword is not a problem for Gu Yun at the moment.

Among the ancient texts given by Yu Yao was knowledge about forging demon swords, and Gu Yun had successfully forged several blades.

Therefore, Gu Yun did indeed know how to make demon swords and did not deceive Nurarihyon.

"The previous forging attempts only produced blades that possessed power but lacked spirit."

Since acquiring the technology to forge the demon sword, Gu Yun has conducted numerous experiments: "Although it is very powerful, what I want is not just a simple weapon."

In Gu Yun's eyes, that violent and uncontrollable demonic sword was like a zombie and a human.

They have no self-awareness; they are just inanimate objects.

In terms of potential, let alone the birth of a soul in the future, or the transformation into a complete life like Sode no Shirayuki, even basic spirituality will not emerge.

Therefore, Gu Yun decisively chose to destroy those demon swords to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and causing even more serious harm.

"What a greedy master."

In the courtyard, Xiu Baixue vaguely sensed a sense of crisis: "She already has me, yet she still wants more."

How many knives can a person carry at most?

With too many monks and too little porridge, once a new demon sword appears, it is destined to steal away the favor that belongs to Sode Shirayuki's Gu Yun.

Sode Shirayuki was quite helpless about this.

How she wished Gu Yun could hold her hand and fight alongside her.

How could those flashy, cheap women compare to her snow-white sleeves?

Sode no Shirayuki: Long live Itto-ryu! Long live the dual-wielding sword style!

"There will be a chance next time."

Gu Yun awkwardly replied with a "Xiu Bai Xue" and then continued to sense Mimi Kirimaru.

The feeling of cheating, especially in front of one's wife, is inexplicably very complicated.

"Hmm, I think I understand now."

Soon, Gu Yun opened his eyes: "The key to forging a demon sword with spirituality lies not in the materials and power, but more importantly, in the intention of the forger."

In the past, when forging demon swords, Gu Yun always focused on the nature of the sword, but never placed any expectations on it.

Why does the Mimi Kirimaru exist?

Because the person who created it hoped to use it to protect ordinary people, making it a protective blade.

"Everyone is different. Only when you are consistent inside and out can you give a blade a soul."

What does it mean for Gu Yun to be consistent inside and out?

That means that what you say and do must be completely consistent with what you think.

To be honest, Gu Yun is actually a very selfish person.

He is willing to passively protect the world.

Because the world is gone, his good days are over.

Gu Yun would never sacrifice his life for this.

After all, Gu Yunren is gone. What does the existence of the world have to do with him?

"If you want to forge a blade to protect the world."

Gu Yun felt he had found the right direction: "Only by sincerely dedicating oneself to protecting the world and placing this will in one's heart can one forge a spiritual blade."

Similarly, if you genuinely hate someone or want to destroy something, you can forge a demon sword.

However, putting aside the fact that Gu Yun could not possibly revive the Demon Blade Princess on such an evil demon blade.

Even if she wanted to, Gu Yun couldn't do it.

He had no desire for revenge, no thirst for retribution, and no intense hatred or loathing for anyone or anything.

However, when it comes to protecting someone's feelings, such as Hayasaka Nao, his mother, or even Shizuka, Gu Yun is absolutely serious.

"So, this may be the only way I can forge a demon sword."

Some might ask, wouldn't it be easier to forge a weapon to protect oneself?

Is it possible for feelings of self-protection to be fake in this world?

Of course, these feelings are definitely real.

Therefore, Gu Yun forged a large number of blades that only possessed power but lacked spirituality.

If it's simply about protecting oneself, then whether one possesses spirituality is completely unimportant; what matters is the strength of one's power.

"Let's give it a try in a couple of days."

Gu Yun did not immediately forge the demon sword: "If nothing unexpected happens, Nura Rihan will come to visit soon."

The other party clearly understood his hint, which is why they left so decisively.

Judging by the time, it should be dawn in about five or six hours.

Even if Nura Rihan was in a hurry, he wouldn't do something as impolite as visiting someone late at night.

"We can take advantage of this time to wake up the chrysanthemum worms."

With Gu Yun's current mental strength, he basically didn't need to rest to recover his energy, so he went to the courtyard and began to look for insects that could awaken the chrysanthemum insects.

"No."

"Not here either."

"Master, we couldn't find any bugs."

It's early spring now, so finding insects is a little tricky.
